LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 no...i'm not complaning about gas mileage, it's been steady 17.5 since i bought the car even after i put big tires on it. my question is, however, my car runs rich. i can smell the gas when the car is idling. ideas on that? Also, my #4 cyl. is leaking oil and burning on the plug. i go through about 1.5 - 2 qts of oil in 3000K miles. no MAJOR smoke (dissapates within 3 feet of exhaust when heavily accelorating) and no major external leaks. i've never seen a drip on the ground. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideas? running rich o2 sensor maybe? Leaking oil, you have a leaking O ring around that sprak plug. Either live with it or replace the valve cover gaskets. you really wont see smoke since its behind the exhaust pipes. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
